Appendix 55 - 60 '· L lntroductic)n I. INTRODUCTION History and General Background Walter Library, completed in 1928, was designed to serve ; the general library for the University of Minnesota's Minneapolis campus. It filled that role until 1968 when the Humanities and Social Science Collections were moved into the newly constructed 0. Meredith Wilso~ i.ibrary on the West Bank of the Minneapolis campus. Following this move, Walter Library continued to support the Education and Psychology Library, the Library Science Collection along with the Childrens' Literature Research Collection, the University Archives, and the Social Welfare Archives. Over the years, ·1e Chemistry and Mus~ Libraries and the Learning Resource Center were also moved into Walter Library. When Ferguson Hall was built to house the School of Music, the Music Library moved into new quarters in that building. In 1985, the Engineering, Geo1ogy, and Physics Libraries were consolidated with the Chemistry Library to form the Science and Engineering Library. The Charles Babbage Institute for the History of Information Processing is located in Walter Library. There are a number of non-library units which are housed on the basement, first, third and fourth floors of Walter Library. Planning is underway for a new facility for the University Libraries that will provide a new home for the archives and special collections of the libraries as well as meeting the collection overflow needs of all the - 1 - libraries on the Twin Cities campus. In the course of time, the Children 1 s Literature Research Collection, the University Archives, the Social Welfare History Archives and the Babbage Institute will be moved out of Walter Library into this new facility. Walter Library will continue to house the Science and Engineering Library, the Education and Psychology Library, and the Learning Resource Center. The offices of the University Librarian are planned to be moved to Walter Library in the near future. Although Walter Library has not officially been designated an historic building, it has architectural importance for the campus because of the exceptional beauty and detail in the reading rooms and public spaces. It is one of nine buildings which were built to realize a design for the East Bank Mall developed by Cass Gilbert. Assessment of Current Status and Needs In its present condition, Walter Library suffers from a number of serious deficiencies that not only prevent it from serving its proper role as an efficient and convenient major university library but compromise both the safety of its users and that of its collections. Foremost is the question of fire safety. Typical of library buildings in the early part of the twentieth century, Walter Library has a stack tower designed with the book stacks as the structural element of the tower. The design makes very efficent use of the available storage volume in the tower. Since the stack tower is essentially one large room, with no con­ tinuous flooring at any of the levels, the tower holds the potential for catastrophic loss of life and collections in the event of a fire. - 2 - In the absence of adequate control of temperature and humidity within the stack tower and other parts of the building, the collections are subjected to environmental extremes which are hastening their deterioration. In cer­ tain seasons of the year and in certain parts of the building, the users and staff face considerable discomfort. A third deficiency is the inadequacy of sui_ le study space in the library and the awkwardness of certain parts of the library for the user. The total amount of seating for study is insuff 1 cient, and a suitable mix of different types of seating is absent. The ~k of conveni~·~ user work space close to the collections in the stack tower is partic~larly acute. The stack tower was designed to be used only by staff and a select set of users. The limited stack entrancr~. the narrow passages and stairways, the inadequate elevator, the undepend lighting system, and the difficulty of keeping one 1 S orientation within :tacks all contribute to the users 1 inconvenience. A fourth important deficiency is the 1nadequate provision for modern tech­ nological developments in electronic data handling. There is insufficient provision of electrical power and the communication lines needed to support such equipment. Goals and Principles for the Renovation The University is committed to maintaining and developing its role as a major teaching and research institution. In addition, President Hasselmo has given particular emphasis to the enhancement of undergraduate educa­ tion. Central to these functions of the Univ' sity is a first-rate - 3 - library, not only in regard to the size and quality of its collections but also in the adequacy and quality of the study areas and services it pro­ vides, the convenience and efficiency of its use, and the incorporation of technological developments needed to maintain its capabilities at the forefront. To these ends, the renovation of Walter Library is to be guided by the following goals and principles, which are discussed in more detail in sub­ sequent sections of the facility program: 1) The creation of a first-rate modern university library to serve the study and research needs of students and faculty in the areas of science and engineering and of education and psychology. Services to the wider community of users in these areas must also be taken to account. 2) The protection of the collections from fire, smoke, adverse temperature and humidity, excessive light, air pollution, theft, and abuse. 3) The provision of well-organized shelving for collections of adequate size and rates of growth. 4) Provision for the comfort and well-being of the users in an atmosphere conducive for study; the provision of adequate amounts and types of study space for the student and faculty populations to be served, taking into account the needs of persons with disabilities. 5) Convenience and simplicity of use of the library, in regard to both self-directed use and use needing the assistance of library personnel. 6) Facilitation of the browsing of new books and current journal litera­ ture by subject area. - 4 - 7) Provision for up-to-date and future electronic data and information­ handling equipment. 8) Provision of adequate and well-organized space and facilities for library staff and for efficient operation of the library. 9) Preservation of the architectural integrity of the building. 10) Provisions for library services to continue during the renovation. Particular attention is called to the increasing role that electronic information handling equipment (Item 7) is expected to play in the func­ tioning of the library in the future. As essential component of this proj­ ect will be the provision of a major upgrade of the electrical power and communication services within the building needed to support such equip­ ment. These services must be provided with the flexibility needed to cope with a rapidly developing and changing scene. In conclusion, the goal of this project is to take a grand old library building, one with major deficiencies and which is seriously out-of-date, and produce a fully modern first-class library while preserving the basic form and ito. Hy of the building. Moreover, it will be necessary to carry out this project with the library remaining in service. It is clear that this pro:~ will call for great ingenuity and sound judgement and will provide a significant challenge to the architect, the University, and the contractor. $2,120,000 was provided for planning the renovation by the Legislative appropriation in 1989. Current plans call for the University to request full funding from the Legislature during the 1992 session. - 5 - II. Role of Walter Lit,rary II. ROLE OF WALTER LIBRARY Mission and Objectives Walter Library hot two major component libraries, the Science and Engineering Library and the Education and Psychology Library. It is the mission of the Science and Engineering Library to support the teaching and research programs of the Institute of Technology, a major component of the University. Twenty percent of the students enrolled on the Twin Cities campus are Institute of Technology students. The Science and Engineering Library also serves the local, state, and regional scientific and technical research communities, by providing tech­ nical information resources. As a result of increased involvement by the Institute of Technology in state and local technology transfer initiatives, particularly in the area of high technology, the Library has strengthened its programs and services in this area.

    Indoor Environmental Quality + Classroom Environment UMTC John T. Tate Hall (Tate Hall) Renovation Minneapolis, MN April 2019, Minneapolis, MN Sustainable Post-Occupancy Evaluation Survey (SPOES) B3 Guidelines Caren S. Martin, PhD Abimbola Asojo, PhD (contact: [email protected]) ([email protected]) Martin & Guerin Design Research, LLC Suyeon Bae, PhD Minneapolis, MN College of Design University of Minnesota 1.0 Overview The purpose of this report is to examine the connection between sustainable design criteria used in the design of the UMTC John T. Tate Hall (Tate Hall) facility and occupants’ satisfaction with their classroom environments located in this building. The Tate Hall facility renovation was designed using the 2009 B3 Guidelines (formerly known as the Minnesota Sustainable Building Guidelines or MSBG), which were in effect at the time that the new facility was completed for occupancy in August 2017. The B3 Guidelines track specific state-funded, B3 buildings as a means of demonstrating real outcomes aimed at the conservation of energy resources, creation and maintenance of healthy environments, and occupants’ satisfaction with their environments. The Sustainable Post-Occupancy Evaluation Survey (SPOES) was developed to assess human outcomes in workplace, classroom, and residence hall settings in compliance with the B3 Guidelines project tracking requirements. This is a report of occupants’ (hereafter called students) responses at 14 months post-occupancy. The survey was conducted in late-October through early-November 2018. This SPOES report focuses on students’ satisfaction with the physical environment as related to 23 indoor environmental quality (IEQ) criteria such as lighting, thermal, and acoustic conditions in their primary classrooms.

  • ABSTRACT USINGTHE PLANNING, DESIGN, and CONSTRUCTION of the Elmer L
    CORE Metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk Provided by Illinois Digital Environment for Access to Learning and Scholarship Repository The Elmer L. Andersen Library: ~~~~o~~~ishi~~the Impossible DONALDG. KELSEY ABSTRACT USINGTHE PLANNING, DESIGN, AND CONSTRUCTION of the Elmer L. Aiidersen Library as a case study, this article explores the variety of plan- ning and design issues that must be addressed in the building process. The Andersen Library is unique for its site selection and for the successfuljoin- ing of eight archives and special collection units in a single building. This exploration looks at how the internal library planning meshes with the ar- chitectural design process; how chance events can present innovative de- s&gn opportunities; and how the political process can affect funding prior- ities and other realities. INTRODUCTION More than any project undertaken at the University of Minnesota, the building of the Elmer L. Andersen Library was believed by many to be a virtual impossibility.A complete description of all that went into the plan- ning, funding, engineering, designing, and construction of the building that became the Elmer L. Andersen Library would far exceed any reason- able bounds. This article focuses on those issues central to these five aspects of this building's creation. The planning challenged us because never at the University oEMinne- sota, or as far as we could tell anywhere in the world, had so many archives and special collections been brought together in a single building and com- bined with a high-density storage center. Securing state funding for the project was difficult.
